Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

The sea is the main attraction here. Even experienced swimmers report being pulled 50 meters along the shore in just fifteen minutes, and the waves are really strong in August. If you're looking for a leisurely float, this isn't the place for you. However, if you'd like a long walk on a clean, almost deserted sandy beach, you'll find one of the quieter spots on Phuket's west coast.

The beach is located in Choeng Thale, north of Bang Tao, and is so wide that the few bathers are hardly noticeable. The sand is soft and impeccably clean. Near the hotel is the small beach restaurant Sand & Sea, and food and drinks are served directly on the sand. Sun loungers with parasols cost around 100 baht near the Aommy restaurant, and an hour-long massage is available for 500 baht. Nothing is perfectly staged, and that's precisely what makes it so charming.
